Great place to visit when you're downtown. Lots of parking and cool historical information inside and around the Capitol Building. I still go when I have spare time.

The USS Arizona memorial rooms were reduced from what I remembered from my last visit. And what was left was closed the day we were there. That was disappointing. Loved the architecture and sense of history from the old capital building.

Good place to come for a school tour. The class lived the time at the museum and it was perfectly timed with their studies, so in enforces what they have learned. It is always a great opportunity to invest time to understand the history of where you live, no matter your beliefs or parties. Remember who you are and why you are here by understanding the past and how your actions can affect the future.

I lived here my entire life but never been to Capitol. It's a lovely building converted museum. Learned quite a few new things. The staff was very nice and easy to navigate.

Its free! The volunteer has loads of information just ask a question. You are able to explore all floors of the building. Good history on the statehood of Arizona.

Security wouldn't let us walk through the building with our sign, even though it wasn't on a stick and was just the 1st amendment! (we weren't protesting anything) They made us walk all the way around the building in 105 degree heat.

Interesting opportunity to view a historic state capitol building. Good for groups of all ages, with motorcoach parking directly in front. Could use a walking guide booklet to facilitate more info.

The Arizona Capitol Museum serves as a symbol of Arizona's vast and colorful history. The Museum as the arm of the Arizona State Liberty, Archives and Public Records, and a division of the Secretary of State was founded in 1979. The original building started in 1899 and completed in 1900 as the capitol for the Territory of Arizona. A decade later the delegates met in the building to draft a state constitution and in 1912, the building became the capitol of the 48th state of the United States of America. The history goes back to the signing of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo in 1848. There are exhibits in four floors of the building and the 4th floor is the People's Floor: under the copper Dome. The 17-foot-tall wind vane that tops the Dome moves with the shifting winds. One could observe and appreciate the school students in small groups listening with interest while gathered around the story tellers. An impressive, informative and enjoyable visit.

It's a great place to visit and learn the history of the state of Arizona. The settings are easy to read, to access and to feel about the past. The build is awesome, highly artistically design and well maintained.

Most state capitols have walking tours of their active capitol building. Phoenix is unique in that the tour is of the former building; the active government buildings have been built up and around the original state house and it has been converted to a lovely museum. However, you can view the current house and senate chambers (each located in their own buildings on either side of the grounds) from the galleries -- just ask a guide or security guard.

Arizona's state house is one of the smaller in the USA, but is charming and they've converted it into a fantastic museum covering many different areas of the state's history. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and were pleased to see Arizona citizens participating in government and exercising their right to protest.
